Thank for the cuticle oil education, I look forward to having beautiful cuticles!

I tried Boemia, it’s nice but reminds me of something else but I don’t know what. Possibly a boyfriend who used to wear Tom Ford would that be it?

DH really liked the perfume, and I think it's growing on me, but would love some more floral scents in future boxes

I think this is my favourite box so far. The mask is one of my favourites and I really like the perfume and what a great size. I’ll use the AB cream when I travel and nice cuticle oil will always get used up. I agree with others that when I saw the leaflet about the Liberty perfumes I really expected to find a sample.

i've got loads of perfume at the moment..I had quite a lot and then I got the Scent with Love kit earlier in the year.. however I still like getting more. I spend a couple of minutes every morning choosing one according to my mood and the weather or just randomly.

I finally got round to trying Darling Nikki this morning. Initially I hated it, it smelt really sharp almost acrid but after about 20 minutes I discovered it was actually gorgeous once settled

Now that I've tried it, I definitely don't get the hype about the AB cream. It seems like a very bog-standard moisturiser to me. And the price!

I accept that a couple of applications over 24 hours probably isn't really giving it a proper chance but...

Really happy with the box, though like everyone else I'm disappointed there were no samples of the new perfumes. I'm going to use the one we got as a really luxurious room spray.

Very happy with the box, and I love the perfume (I was dubious after some of the reviews on here so was pleasantly surprised!). I was actually going to stop my BD after this box but I'm seriously having second thoughts now.

Very happy with the box.

I like the perfume, but it’s not really me so I’ll give it to my Mum or my daughter. I never really use little mirrors but a friend has a birthday coming up and is obsessed with Liberty prints so I’ll add it to her gift.

the rest I’m keeping for myself 😀

The perfume is so familiar! But I've not a clue what it is haha, I actually really like it for autumn

I'm on the fence with the perfume.
I'm definitely smelling petrol as an undertone, although the top notes are lovely.
Cuticle oil is something I've never tried, my nails are shocking, so looking forward to that.

Just realised there's no mirror in mine!!!! I've contacted Liberty because I really wanted it :-(
There is a bubble wrap in my box, assuming that's what the mirror should be in.
Is it possible to open the box before it's delivered? It didn't look damaged....

The mirror is so cute in its little bag.

The longevity on the perfume is amazing. Put it on as soon as I got the box yesterday at midday and I could still smell it before my shower at 2100.

AB is going in my mum's box for Xmas and the mirror is going in ds's gf box. I use the manucurist range anyway so that's a nice bedtime addition. Still undecided about the mask as I don't really use them.

I'm betting December is going to be a banger for Xmas.

That’s what we thought! Liked the box, I looked up the price of the face mask! Liberty will go bankrupt putting one of those in each box. Really like the perfume, very different from my usual choices.

I cancelled my subscription in Sep and then changed my mind and went back on it. I am so glad I did. This is my favourite box by far. Love it

We thought that about the perfume samples too, missed a trick there Liberty! I do like the perfume they sent though it is not like my usual scents. Looked up the cost of the face mask, eeeek! Good box all round.

The mirror was in a little Liberty fabric bag then in the plastic bubble wrap. Looks as though someone just picked up the bubble wrapping without checking the mirror and bag were inside. People have reported very positively about mistakes being rectified so I hope you get your mirror.

Just curious really, about why the perfume would have petrol undertones on me and not on others?
Is it to do with hormones, skin pH, different noses for smell or just random?
Because even the perfume I sprayed on my dress still has petrol undertones, hours later!

I quite liked the perfume though my mum liked is so think I'll donate it her way
I don't eat petrol tones but do agree it's very long lasting

I can’t detect the faintest whiff of petrol, isn’t that weird? But I probably do have a very unsophisticated nose.

Mine arrived today. It's a really lovely selection. The perfume is gorgeous, thankfully no petrol undertones on me. @BCSurvivor I have this issue with another perfume. Lovely on my friend but it has an almost antiseptic smell on me.

It can be skin chemistry related but it could also be that different noses do smell different things. Some people physically can't smell certain notes used in perfumery, others are very sensitive to certain notes, hormones affect how scent is perceived....all of this combines along with existing preferences and scent memories into the overall impression of a fragrance.

A pretty average box for me.
Love the cuticle oil - I finished another up today, so great timing.
Mirror is adorable but I have a torte one I love already.
AB is predictable and dull.
Perfume - I'm not sure yet. Very familiar and I don't know why.
Mask - I like this brand but can't afford it, and take masks like this away with me, so pretty pleased.

Another who is disappointed there are no liberty fragrance samples in there!

Got my box earlier this evening and have only just opened it - very happy, actually!

I like the 111Skin masks, would never buy one because of the price, so always happy to get them in boxes. My experience of sheet masks and eye masks is not to bother doing them at night, it’s completely wasted, the effects are short-lived, use them before whatever it is you want your skin to look good for.

AB cream - I haven’t tried this before, so I’m pleased to give it a go - pretty sure at least one of my 3 advent calendars has it though!

Perfume settles nicely, wasn’t sure at first. I felt the same about Darling Nikki last time, but really loved it after the first 20 minutes. I’m not much of a perfume kinda gal, has to be said. I can’t tell a top note from a base note.

Cuticle oil - I have several of these, trouble is I rarely get round to using them, even though my nails are dreadful.

The mirror is very cute but OMG I look awful in it, maybe it IS faulty! I have a 10x magnified make-up mirror and look a LOT better in that than this one! Might have to give it away as a present. To a young person with beautiful skin. I was looking forward to the mirror in the Liberty AC but hope it’s not as “faulty” as this one.

I liked the box a lot, but I would have liked some samples of their perfumes, to go with the booklet.

And also I would love it if they started using a different print for the boxes. I do what a wise poster suggested here once and reverse them and use the newly pretty box to keep samples and stuff. I would love it if they started using a different print, it's not like they don't have a choice of prints to use.
